AS preliminary TO the debt-conier-
ence we move that the bondholders'
representatives make tour of South
side Virginia and take look into the
actual condition of the people. The
practical information they would ac-
Quire in the course of such trip as to
the States ability TO pay would be more
convincing than any statement the Au-
ditor could prepare. -Lynch6Ur9 Vir-
gilman.
Well said. Tracts of land are sell
ing-no, offered for sale-in that sec
ton for less than the buildings on them
cost.
We would not say one word calcu-
lated TO hinder a settlement of the
State debt But we know so well that
our people are poor and unable to bear
more taxation that we would have the
commission TO be sure to make com
promise which the taxpayers will
ratify.

ION What Meat" &c.

The Florida Times Union says:
1T may be regarded as certain that
the Randallites will have TO move q
little further from the Republican plat
form or they won't be allowed 10 pose as
Democrats much longer. They must
sooner or later go into the Democratic
caucus and abide by the policy it deter
mines 10 pursue on the tariff question.
Let the caucus be called and take this
matter in hand early in the next session
OF Congress.
On what meat doth this our Florida
Cesar feed that lac would read out OF
The Democratic party all who do not
egree with him on the tariff? There
can be no question that there should be
. revision Of the tariff, for, as we have
frequently said, the present tariff is the
worst save one that We have ever had.
But certainly "policy" is not 10 be

virginia Observation-Disclosures

To the Editor of the Dispatch
Knowing your earnest interest in the
prosperity of the farmers of Virginia,
whose success is tritely but truthfully
said to be the foundation-stone of all
that constitutes the States advance in
material wealth, i shall make no apollo
gy for briefly relating the substance Of
casual interview a short time since
with Major A. Il. Venable, Jr., the ac-
tive, wide-awake, leyel-headed, and, in
all respects, efficient secretary of the
Virginia State Agricultural Society
He proposes to have published in pam
phlet form full report of all the ex-
hibits which shall receive pre-
miums at the coming fair, which
reports shall give the peculiar
excellence of each article, animal, or
machine, and the name and address of
the exhibitor, whereby exhibitors will
be able to have most valuable adver-
tisement, and those desiring to obtain
any of the articles can learn from these
reports what was thought to be best by
the judges of the various departments,
and from whom they can be obtained.
Therefore farmers and exhibitors will
be pleased to know of this new feature
of the Fair in regard to these reports
which is expected to be made OF the
exhibits.
Had the means of the society been
ampler, or could the Legislature have
been induced to lend State aid as would
be most proper to carry out the design,
even wider circulation might have been
given these reports. AS it is Major
Venable proposes, in addition to the
mention made OF exhibits by the so.
ciety itself through its committees, to
allow each exhibitor greater or less
space as may be required in which to in
sert any remarks OF his own touching the
object exhibited, whether it be valu-
able horse, particular breed OF sheep
or hogs, an improved piece of ma
chinery or agricultural implement,
or whatever the exhibit may be,
charging moderate sum, proportion
